HomeStaging 101

When you are selling your home, it is important to make an impression that is positive and memorable. When you are dealing with such a significant transaction, you don’t want to settle for a lower selling price or a longer marketing period. Buyers are looking to fulfill their dreams and improve their lifestyles. Staging helps sell those dreams and creates a more emotional purchase that can generate more money for the Seller. The result is a higher offer and a quicker sale. The brokers at Richards Properties can assist you with staging or we can contact a professional for you. The basics to a well staged home include:

Rid your home of clutter. The most important thing you can do to prepare your home for sale is Get Rid of the Clutter. One of the major contributors to a cluttered look is having too much furniture. Less = bigger room!

Invest in a fresh coat of paint and repair cracks in walls and ceilings.
